what are the differences in a mid 70's Camaro clip and an early 70's Nova clip - do they appear the same meaning they are straight with no kick out - do they accept the same upper and lower a arms drag links and etc.

How about the frame rails on all of them ... Mid to late 70' s nova and camaro and early 70's nova ... Are they all straight with no kick out before mounting to the body

The 70-81 camaro was a unibody. However, depending on your tech man/rules, Howe racing sales fabricated frame rails for those.

Yes the Nova front steer are more beefy in front of steering box with a kick out for bumper mounting both measure the same width where they mount under body.We have one of the Howe clips seemed like a great idea at the time just weld it to rear tube welds and go it had all mounts in place. I am now a pro at replacing drivers side frame horn on they are very fragile in front any hard contact knocks the box side ways go with the stock clip .
